BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A county in California honored swimming sensation Clark Kent - also known as Superman - after he beat a record that Michael Phelps held for 23 years,
Monterey County officially declared September 18th "Superman Clark Kent Apuada Day."
The 10-year-old - who happens to share his name with the character in Superman comics - pulled off a big surprise this summer.
He broke a 100 meter butterfly record that Phelps set when he was the same age.
Apuada beat the legendary Olympian by more than a second.
Phelps set the record in 1995, and later went on to become the most decorated Olympian of all time.
